| - Had our last dinner of the night before we left Arizona the next day. Boyfriend came across this cute place called "Pig & Pickles". We came on a Monday night of Memorial Day, assuming that everyone has work the next day, this place was pretty empty around 9pm.
We did not know they were part of the Arizona Restaurant week, so we were curious of what they had for it. After overlooking menu, it was $30 per person for 3 course, so we each decided to get it and share.
First Course:
+ roasted bone marrow+green garlic & spring onion compote
Two bone marrows were served under green garlic spring onions and a side of sliced bread. Delicious when you scoop some marrow onto the bread then add a bit of the green garlic spring onion and yum
+mushroom crostini+pistachio pesto
Mushroom crostini in pistachio pesto was served on top of two sliced toast. Mushrooms well sauteed and the flavors were good.
Second Course:
+ the dump truck' - mixed lettuces, shaved veggies, seeds, cucumber and shallot vinaigrette
Loved how the dressing was light and everything was fresh.
+wedge salad - bacon, egg, cucumber, tomato, radish and buttermilk bleu cheese
Not a bleu cheese person, however, boyfriend enjoyed it. You can request to put the dressing on the side. Crunchy wedges!
Third Course:
crispy skin chicken - bacony red potatoes, creamed leaks, arugula
Chicken was flavorful and very crispy. You just need to take a small piece of the chicken and eat it with the potatoe, creamed leaks and arugula.
+ pork porchetta - roasted pork belly, homemade sausage, creamed corn, heirloom tomato & arugula
Heaven in your mouth! A thick slice of pork belly wrapped around homemade sausage and served with creamed corn? The combination was just perfection. This is a must get if you love pork belly.
Overall, we loved our meals and sure did get full off of it. The meals were big and we were informed that we can purchase one restaurant of the week and share among two people, so it'll save you some bucks.
